(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Sunday, August 25, 2002
G. Harlan Reynolds proves that there is nothing to fear but thought itself, stubbornly refusing to engage in the practice. When fuming over Robert Fisk’s avowal not to join the prosecution, GHR overlooks the obvious: to wit, an interested journalist brings the enterprise into disrepute and endangers fellow tradesmen and women, though Reynolds and his customers have shown time and again that they prefer to have their news spoonfed directly by State Department officials without journalistic mediation. Comparable episodes are obvious, but The Professor chooses not to explore any, linking instead to Brad DeLong, a smart and decent man who is at times liable to simplify things a bit, as if that settles matters conclusively. In The Professor’s mind, I suppose it does. posted by Anonymous5:49 PM
